Planning for what's next
When You Call 911, Every Second Matters.
Every day, Timber Mesa Fire and Medical District is there when it matters most—responding to emergencies, providing lifesaving medical care, and protecting local homes, businesses, and families. As our White Mountain communities grow, the demand for emergency services is growing with them.
Prop 455 is a $25 million bond measure on the November 2026 ballot that would help Timber Mesa modernize aging fire stations, replace critical equipment, and strengthen the facilities, vehicles, and communication systems firefighters rely on to respond to emergencies across the district.
What Prop 455 would fund:
- Rebuilding and modernizing aging fire stations
- Expanding and improving existing facilities
- Replacing essential emergency equipment, including a ladder truck
- Investing in the infrastructure needed to keep up with community growth
It is a long-term investment in public safety that allows the district to address urgent needs now while spreading costs over time.
Station Renovations/ Replacement
- Lakeside (Station 13): Replace an aging facility with major structural and safety issues that can no longer be repaired cost-effectively
- Show Low (Station 15): Expand and modernize the district’s busiest station, which is undersized for current personnel
- White Mountain Lakes (Station 19): Relocate and rebuild a station that no longer fits the needs of a growing community
Emergency Equipment
Replace the region’s only fully staffed aerial ladder truck, which is critical for large structure fires
Real Results
These are not nice-to-have projects. They are essential investments to maintain reliable emergency response across the district.
